Shapiro got the writing right. But what did I expect from a former copywriter? This book was like a small morsel of dark chocolate; despite its small size, it packs a powerful punch. It's written in terse, simple language, which makes the 26 writing tips easy to digest and remember.

Regardless of your writing background and experience, these tips are sound, practical advice that you can apply to any communication. From marketing to corporate communications, you'll gain at least one nugget of information that you can apply right away. I often refer to it to remind myself that good writing is simple and straightforward.

“What do you want your reader to do after taking the time to read [the] marketing tool you created?” says Shapiro. Answer that question, and you’re ready to begin the writing process.
